Request for Google Wallet

Request for Google Wallet

AT&T please allow google wallet to install on our phones. I have a Galaxy S2 i777 which I bought hoping that I'd be able to someday use the NFC chip. Google just made their wallet app awesome today. From my understanding AT&T is the only reason that I can't install it.

They call it death by a thousand paper cuts. This isn't the reason, but it's added to a list of many that I'll be shopping for new carriers when my contract is up if you don't start changing you policies.

Mobile Share will allow you to tether with the data that you already have. As far as using Google Wallet on AT&T, you may be limited to the Galaxy Nexus for now.

Mobile share would also significantly raise my bill. $110/month for using slightly more than 1GB a month through a single phone does not sound like a good deal to me. If I pay for 2GB a month (non mobile share), then I should get to use that tethered or not.

Verizon customers are fortunate due to the fact that their carrier is beholden to extra rules that protect the customers:

I don't know about the GS3, but on I777 it's starting to look like a fundamental technical limitation of the phone.

To my knowledge, Google Wallet is not running on any I9100P device either. The "P" is an I9100 variant with NFC added - the I777 is almost identical to the P except for the touchkeys and call audio configuration.

However I'm disappointed that AT&T has been outright removing NFC from their I777 releases even though it DOES have uses other than GW.

YES YES YES!!! I've never HEARD of such a thing. Blocking an app... FORCING us to use your product. Who knows? I may like your product better! But the least you can do is give me the friggin' choice! This is America! I thought we were better than that. AT&T you can't fathom how irate I am with you right now. I switced from the iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S3 and the ONLY reason I did so was to use the Google Wallet app with the NFC capablity. IT'S A GOOGLE PHONE for Android's sake!!! How are you going to block a Google Product?! That's like someone buying an iPhone and you blocking the use of FaceTime... Oh... Wait... :^/ you did that too. We need freedom of choice here AT&T!!! If you don't fix this you better believe when my contract expires so will my LONG STANDING relationship with AT&T. I've been a loyal customer for well over a decade... Sad that you are going to lose so many customers over this single issue.

Re: Request for Google Wallet

Add my voice to the call for Google wallet on supported devices. I bought my Galaxy S3 because one of the main features I wanted was Google Wallet. Come to find out the only way I can use it is to spend hours hacking my phone because AT&T wants more of my money.
